Representatives were warned not to leave DC because of the approaching storm. Many left anyway. Now they may not be able to get back to the Capitol for tomorrow’s certification.
They certify nothing. The Electors of each State have already been certified by each States Legislature. This is a formality. Maybe the wrong ones who want to f up the proceedings won’t be able to make it— think of that. Either way the sealed State Ballot Boxes are already at the Capitol and under sealed Guard. There are fixed procedures already in place. Sergeant at Arms in charge.
